Robert Lewandowski transfer odds: Barca lead chase to land Bayern legend

Barca still lead the way in Robert Lewandowski transfer odds
Robert Lewandowski is the biggest transfer story of the summer and where he will be playing next season is the talk of the town.
Last month, the Poland captain claimed his “story with Bayern Munich is over” and that he is looking to leave the German giants, with his contract set to end next season.
Real Madrid were initially the favourites to sign the 33-year-old striker, the top scorer in the Bundesliga for the last five seasons, but Barcelona are now 1/5 in the Robert Lewandowski odds.
Bayern are close to completing the signing of Liverpool forward Sadio Mane, but are still hopeful they can convince star player Lewandowski to sign a new contract and continue to hold talks, but where will he end up?
Barcelona
Barca have reportedly made Lewandowski their number one summer target and are thought to be preparing a £43million offer.
Bayern Munich are still trying to convince Robert Lewandowski to stay, with Barcelona set to make an improved bid to sign the striker, according to Sky in Germany 👀

Last week, club members voted in favour of selling off part of their merchandising and TV revenue to help fund a summer spending spree, so they have cash to splash.
Barca brought in Memphis Depay last summer and added Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the winter, but Lewandowski would be a signature signing as the Catalans look to wrest the title back from arch rivals Real Madrid.
Chelsea
The Blues are on the look-out for a new striker as Romelu Lukaku closes in on a return to Inter Milan, although talks continue over the size of the loan fee.
Timo Werner remains a work in progress at Stamford Bridge and he is often on the bench, with German compatriot Kai Havertz preferred in a central role.
However, the Blues, recently taken over by a consortium led by American businessman Todd Boehly, a part owner of the LA Lakers, are hoping to bring a major name to the club after an underwhelming end to a season which saw them lose two cup finals to Liverpool.
Chelsea are 10/1 in the Robert Lewandowski transfer odds, although it was reported over the weekend that the Pole had turned down the chance to join the west Londoners.
Liverpool
Liverpool have already said their goodbyes to Mane, but have replaced him with Darwin Nunez, a potentially club-record signing from Benfica.

That said, the 22-year-old Uruguay striker remains a risk, having never played in one of Europe’s elite leagues, so is there room for a marquee signing bearing in mind title rivals Manchester City brought in Erling Haaland?
Jurgen Klopp described Lewandowski as the best player he had ever coached during his time in charge of Borussia Dortmund, but can the Reds convince him his future is at Anfield? The Reds are 14/1 to pull off a major coup.
PSG
PSG would have been in the market for a new striker when it seemed Kylian Mbappe was heading to Real Madrid, but a lucrative three-year contract persuaded the France striker to stay.
With a forward line-up also boasting Lionel Messi and Neymar, would there be room for another superstar in the PSG squad?
The Ligue 1 champions are also 14/1 in the Robert Lewandowski transfer odds to make another significant improvement to a squad littered with talent.
